Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing — if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him? --back cover
When the Quidditch World Cup is disrupted by Voldemort's rampaging supporters and the terrifying Dark Mark is resurrected, it is obvious to Harry that, far from failing, Voldemort is getting stronger. The ultimate symbol to the magic world of the evil Lord's return would be if the one and only survivor of his death curse, Harry Potter, could finally be beaten. So when Harry is entered for the Triwizard Tournament - a competition between three wizarding schools to find the ultimate magician - he knows that rather than win it, he just has to get through the trials alive.
Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts is full of new dangers. A convicted murderer, Sirius Black, has broken out of Azkaban prison, and it seems he's after Harry. Now Hogwarts is being patrolled by the dementors, the Azkaban guards who are hunting Sirius. But Harry can't imagine that Sirius or, for that matter, the evil Lord Voldemort could be more frightening than the dementors themselves, who have the terrible power to fill anyone they come across with aching loneliness and despair. Meanwhile, life continues as usual at Hogwarts. A top-of-the-line broom takes Harry's success at Quidditch, the sport of the Wizarding world, to new heights. A cute fourth-year student catches his eye. And he becomes close with the new Defense of the Dark Arts teacher, who was a childhood friend of his father. Yet despite the relative safety of life at Hogwarts and the best efforts of the dementors, the threat of Sirius Black grows ever closer. But if Harry has learned anything from his education in wizardry, it is that things are often not what they seem. Tragic revelations, heartwarming surprises, and high-stakes magical adventures await the boy wizard in this funny and poignant third instalment of the beloved series.

He can't quite believe that Professor Dumbledore will actually appear at the Dursleys' of all places. Why is the Professor coming to visit him now? What is it that cannot wait until Harry returns to Hogwarts in a few weeks' time? Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts has already got off to an unusual start, as the worlds of Muggle and magic start to intertwine J.K. Rowling charts Harry Potter's adventures in his sixth year at Hogwarts with a mix of detail and humour that is unsurpassed, pace that is breathless and above all a flair that is magical.

Tento knižní soubor obsahuje tři detektivní romány od J. K. Rowlingové, které se odehrávají ve světě soukromého vyšetřování. Hlavní postavou je Cormoran Strike, bývalý vojenský detektiv, který se snaží vyřešit složité případy, zatímco se potýká s osobními problémy a výzvami. V románu "Volání kukačky" se Strike zabývá smrtí slavné modelky, jejíž úmrtí je zpočátku považováno za sebevraždu, ale Strike odhaluje temné tajemství, které ji obklopuje. "Hedvábník" se zaměřuje na zmizení mladého muže, jehož případ se ukazuje jako mnohem komplikovanější, než se zdálo. V "Ve službách zla" se Strike a jeho asistentka Robin Ellacott ocitají v nebezpečné situaci, když se setkávají s nebezpečným protivníkem z minulosti. Tematicky se romány zabývají otázkami pravdy, morálky a lidských vztahů, přičemž kombinují prvky napětí, psychologického dramatu a sociálního komentáře. Knihy jsou protkány detailním popisem postav a prostředí, což přispívá k celkové atmosféře a hloubce příběhů.
Druhá až čtvrtá část příběhu o Harrym Potterovi sleduje, jak se kouzelnický svět stává složitějším a temnějším. Harry čelí novým nebezpečím, od tajemství Komnaty až po smrtící turnaj Tří kouzelníků. Postavy dospívají, vztahy se prohlubují a hranice mezi dobrem a zlem se začínají rozmazávat. Tyto díly přinášejí víc napětí, humoru i emocí a ukazují, že kouzla nejsou vždy jen radostná.
Komplet prvních čtyř knih série o Cormoranu Strikeovi. V prvním díle, Volání kukačky, Strike vyšetřuje smrt modelky Luly Landry, která je oficiálně považována za sebevraždu, ale její bratr v ní vidí něco víc. V Hedvábníkovi se Strike dostává do světa literární komunity, kde vyšetřuje zmizení spisovatele Owena Quina, které se ukáže být spojeno s jeho šokujícím rukopisem. V Ve službách zla se příběh zaměřuje na osobní hrozbu, kdy Strike a Robin čelí muži z jeho temné minulosti, který je připravený je zničit. V Smrtící bílé se duo vydává po stopách starého zločinu, který se proplétá s politickými machinacemi a rodinnými tajemstvími. Série kombinuje napínavé detektivní zápletky, složité postavy a hluboké psychologické a sociální téma, která odhalují nejen zločiny, ale i vztahy a osobní výzvy hlavních hrdinů.
